Abstract: The invention relates to a system (100) and a method (200) for measuring the filling level of a silo (110) for storing and mixing at least one bulk material, the silo being provided with a plurality of support legs (111) on the ground. The system comprises: a single deformation sensor (120) provided to be fixed to a single support leg of the silo so that the deformation sensor can detect deformations of the support leg in order to generate at least one measurement signal which comprises the deformation values, a first wireless communication means (130) provided to transmit the measurement signal, and a remote server (140) which comprises a second wireless communication means and a processor, the processor being provided to process the measurement signal so as to obtain an estimation of the filling level of the silo.
